Mostly known as the man behind the acclaimed, trend-setting Freezone series, and as the host of his own radio shows
(aired on several cutting-edge European stations), DJ Morpheus is a man with a rich musical history.
In the mid-Eighties he was the lead singer and main lyricist with cult band Minimal Compact, whose
Middle-Eastern-tinged dance/new wave exerted a strong influence, both in Europe and in America, where a couple
of their 12" became absolute anthems in the underground clubs. 20 years on, it's happening all over again, as several
leading DJs (such as James Murphy/LCD Soundsystems, Playgroup, Ivan Smagghe & more) are raving about
"Next One Is Real", "Statik Dancin" and other Minimal Compact vintage favourites. Morpheus has received the
Ibiza Award for Best Chill Out DJ in 2000. Freezone aside, Morpheus has put together a handful of other, excellent
compilations for SSR, including "If You Can't Beat'Em, Break'Em" (breakbeat), "Phax & Phixion" (the latter came out
in late 98 and was hailed as one of the best compilation of underground US hip hop) and "In My Bag"
(from downtempo to funky and tech breaks).
